Gold And Silver Days

As I'm sit here by the firelight, I'm turning back the years I can hear my mother singing in the mornin' As she scrubbed our shining faces, and then packed us off to school All too soon those days were over without warning So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days Days filled with innocence and light Not a penny to our name, we were happy just the same In our gold and silver days In the parlour on a Friday night, my father took the floor I can hear us join together in the chorus Singing "Just a song at twilight", and "The moon behind the hill" Now those voices they are all silenced, gone before us So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days Days filled with innocence and light Not a penny to our name, we were happy just the same In our gold and silver days We gathered at the daisy field, on Sunday afternoon Then we danced to Brandy Quigley and the Royal Through the years we all were scattered But those friends were good and true Always there when they were needed, always loyal So sing me the songs of our gold and silver days Days filled with innocence and light Not a penny to our name, we were happy just the same In our gold and silver days In our gold and silver days
